Barcelona's Lionel Messi usually leaves fashion statements to his arch-rival Cristiano Ronaldo, but the Argentinian turned heads when he arrived for training at St George's Park yesterday sporting platinum-blond hair.

The forward quit the national team after failing to lead them to a Copa America triumph, and was then slapped with a 21-month suspended jail sentence for tax evasion.
